  If you were machining the heads of a V8, which face can you rely on as a reference plane? The same question when machining a V8 short block. Where do you set the reference plane, before machining the head mating surfaces?

• 
  @ACDodd8 күн бұрын

  Main bearing tunnels for the block using the cam tunnels as a centre reference plain. For the heads it does not really matter as long as inlet manifold face angle is correct with the head deck surface after machining.

  @TornadoCAN9913 күн бұрын

  Nice review. Can you tell us where on the fuse box you connected to +12volts? Also, most timing light instructions state to use an external battery, not one running the engine. I have not found using the car battery to be an issue, but is it something to be concerned about?

• 
  @ACDodd13 күн бұрын

  No concern, there is less electrical noise when using a separate battery. Use the connection on the fuse box which is ignition live, and a classic mini this is the connection that has the white colour wire attached to it.

  I’ve recently installed an HIF44 carb on my engine and I’m working through the tuning process. I’ve got an innovate wideband to check the mixtures In what order do you normally tune them - spring, needle then oil? I have started with red spring, BDL, LZX1505 damper and 20W oil and it was super lean and boggy I’m now using yellow spring, BCE needle and 20W60 oil and it’s much better but not finished yet I guess I’m concerned that tuning to suit the wrong spring or oil will make it harder to pick the needle

  @@ACDodd my compression ratio turned out a bit higher than I’d originally planned for. I get occasional pinging at part throttle and I’ve only been able to stop this by reducing the timing (I have a programmable timing curve). Would it be best to remove the vacuum advance and run more mechanical advance to get better low to mid performance under load? At the moment it’s a bit compromised And yes the best option would be to lower the compression ratio but I’m trying to work out the best way to do that

  The reality of most minis is that most owners use second hand engines, the sound does indicate wear, but its associated with a strip down and rebuild, most owners avoid that due to costs. This is only worth fixing if it’s annoying or gets worse.

• 
  @ACDodd19 күн бұрын

  I use a normal charger with a discharging function to run down cells you must do this under supervision so that you don’t over discharge the cells down to 3 volts is low enough. For high output cells internal resistance is key the lower you go the better the performance. Unfortunately good low resistance cells cost money, I have re used salvaged Samsung 20s and 25s cells these make excellent high output cells for standard batteries and of course use the Samsung 50S for the 21700 packs are even better the model p42 items, but all cost money unless you can salvage
